Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

Get a serial uart adapter, everything else is just guesswork. I can't really do much without having a camera at hand myself

Maybe this will give you more info what is wrong ? :)

Put printenv in the commands.txt
Run commands.bat
Paste the output of that.
 
I'm using windows and do not have printenv on it. Is there any way you can help me with this ?
Dude what??
In commands.txt write printenv + Enter
Then run commands.bat
Then plug your camera in with the TFTPServer and Console.bat thing running.
The camera will run the printenv command...
 
Sorry was too late, below you can find results of printenv:

Can anybody confirm for me what firmware variant the HDBW4421R is? Does anybody have a version for this camera?

Oops just realised I didn't look properly on the front page and obviously didn't click to expand everything. I was thinking it was a 1st gen and not a 2nd gen.

So eh wtf.
Your cameras HWID is IPC-HDBW4231R-Z:01:02:05:36:1A:17:01:00:00:00:04:258:00:00:00:00:00:01:00:00:100
but the device alias is IPC-HDBW5231R-Z ???
Anyways for that HWID the IPC-HX4XXX-NAND-Eos firmware is the correct one.
So try this one instead, should work™ https://i.botox.bz/General_IPC-HX4X...aRus_PN_Stream3_V2.420.0000.21.R.20160724.zip

This is even more strange because all cameras were purchased as the model IPC-HDBW5231R-Z. Never the less I try to use last firmware given by you and it was flashed but no changes

The still camera is showing that this is a model: IPC-HDBW5231R-Z, any clue what is going on ?

"Never the less I try to use last firmware given by you and it was flashed but no changes" - What does that even mean?
The flashing was successful. Does the camera work? What changes are you expecting?

Flashing was done with the success, camera is still working but still in system it shows as IPC-HDBW5231R-Z not IPC-HDBW4231R-Z

Yes, that is correct. The stuff in printenv does not change when you flash a new firmware.
You can change it yourself if you want to, however it can break stuff and I'm not even sure if this is wanted or a mistake. What does the label on the camera say?
HWID and device name are different things too, but I haven't seen them differ this much before...

All labels on camera are showing that this is model IPC-HDBW5231R-Z, also it was purchased as model IPC-HDBW5231R-Z.

Now I do not know what to think about whether someone has sold me a model IPC-HDBW4231R-Z as model IPC-HDBW5231R-Z, or there is any other explanation.

Well according to IPC-HDBW5231R-Z | Dahua Technology - Dahua Technology the IPC-HDBW5231R-Z uses IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea firmware.
But your camera uses IPC-HX4XXX-NAND-Eos firmware for IPC-HDBW4231R-ZS.
Where did you buy this camera? I'm no expert but it does seem off

All cameras were purchased on aliexpress, I have purchased 8 of them.
This mismatch in model version can be also explanation why zooming is not working from my recorder, I'm not using dahua recorder. I can zoom in and zoom out only from camera web page.

I believe this firmware should have working telnet, can you try: Dahua Enable Telnet
And then run cat /proc/cpuinfo
Then I guess I'd need someone to do cat /proc/cpuinfo on their *real* IPC-HDBW5231R-Z or any other Rhea camera actually.

You were right telnet is working, result of the cat /proc/cpuinfo:

I do have camera IPC-HDBW5231E-Z which looks to be a similar model to IPC-HDBW5231R-Z but with stronger IR. If you can modify this firmware to enable telnet I can check cat /proc/cpuinfo on it.
